    Are negative comments not allowed?

    And why are so many of the admin / moderators so quick to defend this game? And why are there 2 Canabalt articles on the main page? Did you really need to do 2 stories about the update for 1 game? Why is there no mention of the Zen Bound price drop? Why no mention of Flickitty?

    Yes, we get it... You LOVE Canabalt, and you think it's worth as much, if not more, than Soosiz, but bloody hell... Maybe you could talk a little more about some of the other games?

    :confused:

    It's less annoying than you constantly trying to nullify any good words said about the game. There have been loads of games with two articles on the front page at once, yet as soon as it happens to Canabalt, in comes the 99 cent brigade to spark up yet another consipracy theory.

    Flickitty isn't there because they don't like it.

    1. Comments get flagged for moderation for various automated reasons.
    2. We posted about Zen Bound's sale almost a week ago. Try to keep up.
    3. We had Flickitty on our podcast and most people didn't like or recommend it.
    4. Posting a preview, followed by actual launch is common practice.
    5. You seem more obsessed with Canabalt than we are, starting more threads or discussions about it than we do.

    Alright...

    I know it may not seem like it, but I do have a fulltime job, and I probably missed the article. But I'm glad you made mention of Zen Bound. It's a great game.

    I didn't like it either. lol. But I thought a lot of people did. I see a lot of mention of it here on the forums. Or maybe those mentions are all coming from the same person.

    Understood.

    This is only my 2nd thread about Canabalt. Try to keep up.

    Ah... So it was their fault. I get it.

    For the record: I like the Canabalt update, and I don't think Canabalt should be $.99. I'm just looking out for the other games. If Canabalt can get 2 or 3 front page mentions within a week, Zen Bound, and a couple other games, should also be able to receive some of that royal treatment.

    His brain washing has been working. :D

    Flickitty, Flickitty, Flickitty, Flickitty, Flickitty...

    Everywhere I turn I see Flickitty...

    You do realize the people like yourself (posting/complaining about Canabalt) is in part what made the update front-page preview worthy. (That and we really do like the game.)

    There you have it, folks. Evidence of tsharpfilm's reverse psychology succeeding!

    I get it.

    I was pissed for about 10 seconds because I thought "Hey! Why in the hell have they made 2 articles about Canabalt within the last couple of days, but have made no mention of the Zen Bound price drop?! That game pwns! :mad:" But you have mentioned Zen Bound, and other good games, so I have nothing else to complain about regarding this topic.

    Your point would be valid if the goings on of Touch Arcade was my only concern. I can assure you that it's not.
